Transformative Healing Through Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

The Psychedelic Nurse Therapist

RN, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Specialist

James is a registered nurse and licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in the state of Colorado who brings a grounded, compassionate presence to the transformative healing space. Trained through Naropa University's prestigious Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies Certificate Program, James blends clinical expertise with mindful, trauma-informed care informed by depth psychology and contemplative practice.

With a background in mental health nursing, James witnessed firsthand the limitations of traditional models of care and became committed to exploring more integrative, human-centered approaches to healing. His journey led him to Naropa, where he immersed himself in cutting-edge research, somatic techniques, and ethical frameworks around the responsible use of psychedelics in therapy.

James now works at the intersection of science and spirit, supporting clients navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and existential distress through preparation, integration, and psychedelic-assisted sessions (where legally permitted). Whether in clinical settings, retreat spaces, or harm-reduction circles, James creates a safe container for deep emotional work, helping individuals reconnect with their innate wholeness and purpose.

He's particularly passionate about working with frontline healthcare workers and marginalized communities, bringing attention to social justice, access, and equity in psychedelic healing.

Outside of the therapy room, James is an advocate, educator, and lifelong learner. He facilitates workshops, contributes to public conversations about ethical psychedelic care, and is dedicated to expanding compassionate, heart-centered healing in an evolving mental health landscape.
